I think there's a certain numbness in modern society, that accepts certain kinds of violence, but represses other kinds of violence.

But if you're gonna dine with them cannibals Sooner or later, darling, you're gonna get eaten . . .

The body becomes the carrier for the work. It's not really about the physical body it really becomes the apparatus that carries and moves the work. I don't really consider the body as much I look at it as a tool.

I am the captain of my pain.

Image
To my undying shame, I do read reviews. I don't read them all, but I like to get some kind of idea how things are going.

I consider myself to be first and foremost a comic writer. The way I entertain myself - especially in those long and grim hours in the office - is to write stuff I find funny.

Sometimes the song isn't strong enough to contain the fiction, because memories are fictions.

Image
I feel very much a part of what I'm writing about, and I'm writing about things that concern me on a daily basis. I'm not really interested in writing musical diaries, if you know what I mean.

It's an Australian thing to be dismissive. We find that endearing. Americans don't. They believe what you say.

When I start to write a song, I initially fall into patterns and creative habits that are familiar, and because they're familiar, they sound convincing. It's important for me to not pursue those ideas, because I've already done them, but to find ideas that are different and feel strange to write and disconcerting to write.

I love America. I really do. It's by far the place I like visiting out of anywhere in the world. I get a palpable sense of excitement when the plane's landing. It's a cliché, but there's still an incredible energy about New York in particular.

The editing of a song is largely what makes the song for me and I think that actually if I had started going like 'I want you to burn' it would have pinned that song down to a particular thing and made that song a smaller idea than what it is. By leaving that off it's much more open, broader.

I've watched 'Oprah Winfrey.' And I'm proud. I don't care what anybody says! I don't know whether I've watched it. I've been in the room while it's been on.

'Inspiration' is a word used by people who aren't really doing anything.

I want to write songs that are so sad, the kind of sad where you take someone's little finger and break it in three places.

I just found this world a hard place to be good in,’ says Bunny, then he closes his eyes and, with an expiration of breath, goes still.

I am not interested in anything that doesn't have a genuine heart to it. You've got to have soul in the hole. If that isn't there, I don't see the point.

The older I get, the more I feel those kinds of ghosts - especially the women in my life - moving out of the shadows a bit more and becoming more present in my life.

I'm unable to really write the kind of song that doesn't have a visual element, which most songs don't.
